Verdict:

Rent it---Just when they think they got the answers, I change the questions..www.cheatmasters.com

I bought it full price on release day, and while I like the game a lot, I can already see its shortcomings. I'll get my money's worth out of the game because I like it enough to get 2 or 3 playthroughs out of it, but if I had it to do over again, I'd rent it for now and buy it when it gets cheap.---And to think...people laughed at me when I said MS could out-EA EA any day of the week.Who's laughing now, *****es???

How bad is the screen tearing? I've been noticing it more and more with newer games, and it's not fun to look at.

Pretty bad, though Splinter Cell: Blacklist is markedly worse if you are looking for something recent to compare it with---Just when they think they got the answers, I change the questions..www.cheatmasters.com

Great review. I'm gonna skip on Saints Row IV for now, I'll probably grab it after I grab GTA V - around that time it should be easy enough to find a used copy.---The only constant is change, nothing remains the same!The only constant is change, there's only growth or decay!

I will wait for a price drop. After playing 3 i lost interest and GTA 5 is coming soon.---Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is the best PC game of 2012.You are entitled to your opinion but its wrong and i hate you.
